Summary
[edit]DescriptionApollo Theatre and Times Square Theatre (42nd Street).jpg |
English: Apollo Theatre entrance (left) and Times Square Theatre, north side of West 42nd Street between 7th and 8th avenues in Manhattan, in 1922.
The theaters share a unified facade and marquee, but the Apollo was actually on 43rd Street. In 1996 the Apollo was demolished and a new house was constructed on the combined "footprint" of the Apollo Theatre and the Lyric Theatre, which it adjoined on 43rd Street. Some architectural elements from the two theaters were preserved and incorporated in the new theater, which opened on January 18, 1998 as the Ford Center for the Performing Arts. After several name changes, it was renamed the Lyric in 2014. The facade and the Times Square Theatre are extant (in 2014). In the image an electrical sign announces the film Silver Wings, starring Mary Carr, at the Apollo, where it played from May 17 to August 20, 1922.[1][2] The marquee advertises The Charlatan ("A Thriller"), a play which ran at the Times Square from April 24 to June 17, 1922.[3][4] Notes
